16.4.1796 Hamilton, Blake, Christal, mrs Gregory & dr Crawford at miss Hayes / 12.11.1796 miss Hamilton at Hayes's

Elizabeth Hamilton DNB 1756-1815 and see Correspondence of Mary Hays p312. A friend of Mary Hays who fell out with her over the review of her first major work in the Analytical Review of October 1796 supposedly written by Hays. Godwin often dropped the miss or mrs for women, particularly authors. But the plain Hamilton on 16.4.1796 might also be the S Hamilton who according to Correspondence of Mary Hays p299 was assisting Dr George Gregory as editor of the Critical Review, which Hays also wrote reviews for. The GD website has the plain Hamilton coded to Samuel Hamilton, printer & publisher, grandson of Archibald Hamilton DNB 1719-1793, who may have been the S Hamilton co-editing the Critical Review
